Safety, trust & environment

I would follow directions given to me by the owner and care for their dog with the same love, carefulness and responsibleness that I do for mine. I think my 35 years teaching middle school students helps me understand professionalism in any caregiver situation.

Information David M. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know how a dog reacts to other dogs. It's also important for me to know the command words you use and the reward system your dog understands. I need to know how far your dog can walk and how you leash or harness your dog. Dogs thrive on consistency so I need to know what the dog's routines and training methods are.

A typical day

I love playing ball with my dog. We love long walks in the woods at Weiss Park in Avon Lake. We can play find the toy. I love being outdoors in any weather and it's so much better with a dog.

Pet care experience

I have owned, cared for and loved three dogs over the last 20+ years. I currently have a springer spaniel. My one dog lived with diabetes for two years when she was a senior. My springer has lots of dog friends and we travel with her. I walk 25,000 steps a day and would enjoy taking your dog with me. I am a true Ohioan and don't let the weather keep me from being outside. I have dog friends in my neighborhood because I genuinely love dogs.

Dave was A+! He did everything on the list and is experienced with dogs. That helps since we are new dog owners. Quick responses and easy to work with:)

Great help provided for the week while I was traveling for work. Will definitely use David again when we are in a pinch!
